Dear Dr. Eidensohn,
I was reading R' Feldman's new book and he writes that a rabbi was attacked in Tzfat and the attacker only got fined $200. This would've happened in 1998 or, more likely, 1999. I was wondering if you know anything about said incident and if not, could you please put this up as a blog post so your informed readers may possibly inform me what the matziv was (I've searched and searched on Google to no avail)
Sincerely,
Baruch Pelta

The Rabbi was the chief rabbi of Tzefas Rabbi Levi Bistritzky. The attacker was Meir Baranes who later on ran over Rabbi Bistritzky causing him severe injuries from which he never fully recovered till he was Niftar. I attached a pic from this link http://chabad-il.org/sh/601-
I am much obliged.
